Summary
108-56 over Hungary sent the United States into Saturday’s World Cup semifinals, keeping alive its bid for a fifth straight title.
Napheesa Collier led with 19 points, while Caitlin Clark posted 10 points and nine assists and Angel Reese added nine points and six rebounds in the quarter-final rout.
Clark and Reese also highlighted their growing on-court chemistry with a first-quarter pick-and-roll and a later fastbreak connection, reinforcing a partnership both said is stronger than online narratives suggest.
Saturday’s semifinal opponent will be Spain or Australia, before Clark and Reese soon return to the WNBA playoffs with their 26-14 teams potentially on a first-round collision course.
